Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 878

Chapter 878: Was He That Scary?

“If you really want to live like this, why didn’t you listen to your grandfather’s arrangements back then? Why did you have to suffer outside? I know you don’t like these things. It’s fine if I suffer alone. Why would I drag my beloved fiancé along with me?”

Those words were music to Lin Mu’an’s ears and he didn’t bring it up again. However, Lu Qianqian worked overtime and without realizing it, it was already 10 p.m.

If it wasn’t for the power failure in the office, she wouldn’t have noticed the time.

Lin Mu’an turned on the flashlight on his phone and looked at Lu Qianqian. “It’s time to get off work, right?”

“But I didn’t save my documents,” Lu Qianqian said with a frown. “It’s very important.”

“Then turn on your phone’s flashlight. I’ll see what’s going on.”

There was no one in the office and the assistant had been sent home early. Lin Mu’an checked the power switch in the office and spent some time turning on the backup switch.

Lu Qianqian took the opportunity to switch on the computer and save the documents. She then looked at Lin Mu’an apologetically. “I didn’t notice the time. It’s already so late.”

Lin Mu’an walked over to her and got her to the edge of the desk. “Do you work like this every day?”

“Uh…” Lu Qianqian scratched her head awkwardly. “Sometimes it’s a little earlier.”

Lin Mu’an took the opportunity to bite her lower lip. “I know a strong woman who does investments. Maybe I can invite her here. Since you don’t want me to share the burden with you, you can hire someone, right?”

“I… Of course I want to, but I don’t have a complete grasp of the company’s situation. That’s why I’m like this,” Lu Qianqian answered guiltily.

Lin Mu’an sighed and carried her up the desk. “Even if it’s not enough, the Lu Corporation has Zhongteng’s shares. As long as you have a need, Zhongteng will send someone over to help. Why are you torturing yourself like this? Don’t you trust them?”

“Don’t lecture me anymore. I understand.” Lu Qianqian lost her confidence and dove into his embrace.

Lin Mu’an smiled and admitted defeat. “Can we go home now, CEO Lu?”

“I’m hungry…”

“It’s been seven to eight hours. Of course you’re hungry. Let’s go eat something delicious.” Lin Mu’an carried Lu Qianqian and they left the building in a bear hug.

While they were eating, Lin Mu’an’s phone rang countless times. Lu Qianqian saw it and asked, “Why aren’t you answering your phone? I saw the caller. It seems to be your aunt calling.”

“It’s nothing important. Hurry up and eat.”

Lin Mu’an didn’t think much of it.

“Is it about your grandfather? If it is, pick up. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”

Lin Mu’an looked at her and finally picked up the phone. On the other end of the line, she didn’t know what Lin Mu’an’s aunt had said, but she saw Lin Mu’an’s expression change.

“What happened?” Lu Qianqian had a bad premonition.

“Nothing. It’s just grandfather’s illness. He’s unstable.” Lin Mu’an hung up, but he didn’t tell her the truth. It would only cause more trouble if he told her about it.

“Is that really all?” Lu Qianqian asked. “Don’t be so sensitive every time you mention the Lin family. I don’t mind it as much as you think.”

“It’s really nothing.” Lin Mu’an kept his mouth shut.

Lu Qianqian didn’t ask further because she knew that Lin Mu’an had almost severed all ties with his family for her. He hadn’t stepped into the Lin family’s home for a long time, but she could face it together with him.

The two of them quickly ate dinner and went home. While Lin Mu’an was taking a shower, Lu Qianqian flipped through the number on Lin Mu’an’s phone and summoned up her courage to call the number.

“Mu’an?”

“I’m Lu Qianqian. Hello.”

Lu Qianqian never expected that the receiver to be Lin Mu’an’s mother, and not his aunt.

Lin Mu’an had always been under elder Lin’s care and rarely mentioned his parents. Occasionally, he would talk about them, but he only ever said that they did business outside. Now that they were suddenly in contact with each other, Lu Qianqian was at a loss. “I’m sorry, Auntie. I thought something had happened to the Lin family, so…”

“It’s fine. I just called him to inform him that I divorced his father.”

Lu Qianqian was speechless.

“It’s late. You guys should rest.” After saying that, Mama Lin hung up the phone decisively as if she didn’t care about her son’s feelings at all.

Lu Qianqian put down the phone. She felt that this world was rather ridiculous. She could feel the pain from this man.

“Why are you sitting by the bed in a daze?” Lin Mu’an came out of the bathroom half-naked.

Lu Qianqian took the opportunity to hug him as she sobbed. “Scumbag, don’t waste your time. You have to leave first thing in the morning. I want you.”

Both of them had things on their minds, but they had a good outlet to vent, and that was… crazy sex.

When dawn broke, Lin Mu’an got up quietly and kissed the woman beside him. “Little Chili, wait for me to come back and marry you.”

Lu Qianqian whimpered and went back to sleep. She didn’t even know when her man left. When she woke up, she realized that she had forgotten to tell him about her business trip in a few days.

After Lin Mu’an left, Lu Qianqian sat on the bed in a daze for almost an hour. Then, she picked up her phone and called the pregnant woman. “Xiao Qi.”

“What’s up with that voice? Did Lin Mu’an make you suffer?”

“Can I talk to your president first?” Lu Qianqian asked in a low voice.

Mu Qiqi handed the phone to Sheng Xiao. “It’s Qianqian. Don’t scare her.”

Sheng Xiao frowned slightly. Was he that scary?

Even though his voice was not gentle, it was not too cold. “Hello?”

Lu Qianqian told him that she was unable to do what she wanted and hoped that he could send someone to support her. Sheng Xiao thought that it was not a big deal.

“Send the Lu Corporation’s information over this afternoon. Let me take a look at the situation first. After that, I’ll arrange a suitable candidate for you.”

“Thank you, Big CEO.”

After two minutes, Sheng Xiao settled the problem with a single sentence and returned the phone to Mu Qiqi. “There’s an early meeting. I’ll be leaving first.”

“Got it, Master Xiao.”

Mu Qiqi took back the phone. It was now time for the two sisters to have a heart-to-heart talk. “What’s wrong? Why are you calling for help so early in the morning?”

“Because I have a bad feeling that I’ve spent too much time on work. If this goes on, I’ll have a relationship crisis sooner or later.”

“You’ve come to your senses quite quickly.” Mu Qiqi laughed. “Got a love rival by his side?”

“Of course not. It’s about the Lin family. Lin Mu’an’s parents divorced, but he didn’t tell me. I want to take the initiative to resolve their matter. I don’t want him to feel wronged and not even have someone to talk to.”
